Nail biting is quite possibly one of the most common bad habits that affects the population. 30% of children, 29% of adults, and 44% of teens are estimated to be frequent nail biters. Not only does biting nails ruin your teeth, but they can have significantly detrimental effects on your health over time. With such a staggering numbers of people in need of assistance, here are five very simple steps to overcoming your infirmity once and for all.

Decide you are sure that you wish to quit biting nails, and stick with it. It is next to impossible to quit doing something if you want to keep doing it. By deciding to quit nail biting, you admit that a problem exists, and you want to get rid of it.

Reduce the number of situations that make you feel like biting your nails. Studies have shown that most people bite their nails when they are under stress, anxious, bored, hungry, and they occasionally do it without noticing. Identify when you feel tempted to nibble, and avoid the situation(s) as often as possible. Having limited the situations of your bad habit , you will think about it less frequently and thus lower the temptation to chomp down.

Avoid putting your hands near your mouth at all times. Not only will you avoid exposing your mouth to copious amounts of microbes and bacteria ( think about all the doorknobs you turned, tables you touched, and handshakes you gave), but you also are physically incapable of biting your nails without putting your hands near your mouth. Idling hands near your mouth is a bad habit in itself because there is always a chance of contracting an intestinal parasite when you put your fingers in your mouth.

Another critical step is a fairly common one, especially for those who are trying to quit smoking. Distract yourself with another activity whenever the temptation is strong. Occupying your hands with a task will greatly benefit your effort to quit nail biting because it sets your mind on other tasks. This inevitably makes you...

...Disease/Disorder “NailBiting”
Nailbiting is a common unwanted behavior which starts in late childhood and is considered as an obsessive compulsive disease/disorder.
The majority of children is motivated to stop nailbiting and have already tried to stop it, but is generally unsuccessful in doing so. In fact, it is a difficult behavior to change or treat. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of co-morbid psychiatric disorders in a clinical sample of children with this habit who present at a child and adolescent mental health care outpatient clinic and the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in their parents (Ahmad, 2008). Approximately 28% to 33% of children ages 7-10 are biting their nails, as well as the 44% of adolescents, 19% to 29% of young adults and 5% of older adults. It is more common in boys (Habit disorders: How to prevent and treat nailbiting, 2006).
First of all, nailbiting is related to genetics, as it tends to run in families and is learned behavior, which would also explain the familial link. If a small child sees her parents biting their nails in times of stress or inactivity, she might try it out and derive pleasure from the action, thus sparking a habit (Santillano, 2006). Additionally, nailbiting is an...

...﻿How to Make Paper Quilling
It was Saturday morning and it was my friend’s birthday, her name is Putri. I was confused what gift I should give to her. When I went to the Central Library, I found a book titled “Paper quilling”. Paper quilling is art of rolling paper that had known since 17th century. It was found in Europe and it was used by nun to decorate the religius things. I was interested in the book, so, I read it. I thought it was difficult at first. When I tried to make it, it was not as difficult as I thought. Making paper quilling is easy if you follow these steps.
First, prepare the equipment. The equipment you need are colored-papers scissor, needle tool, and glue. Second, make the quilling strips. You can make it by yourself. Cut the colored-paper into particular sized paper. You can cut the paper into 1 cm wide each pieces. It depends on the shape you are going to make. The third, roll the paper strip by using needle tool. Keep rolling the paper strip until the whole quilling strip is rolled around the needle tool. Next, pull off the roll. When you have rolled the paper strip, take it off. If you want a loose roll, put it down and let it lax by it self. After that, glue the paper together. You can use stick or toothpick to stick on the glue. Next, pinch the roll into the shape that you want. For example, if you want to make a leaf, just pinch the tip of the roll. Finally, glue all of pieces that you made together and arrange those rolls.
As you can...

...NailBiting
Do you constantly find yourself biting your nails off for no reason at all? Or have you ever thought about the damages caused by nailbiting? Many people do not realize and know that there are medical affects and explanations for nailbiting. Adults usually do not find themselves with this bad habit because nailbiting is most common among kids and teens but mainly more within guys than girls. However regardless of gender or age nailbiting can lead to unwanted consequences caused by stress, nervousness, or hunger.
Unwanted consequences mainly consist with dental complications such as the chipping of your teeth. For most people, chipping a tooth is the only negative effect that biting your nails might have on your teeth. In fact, the book Pediatric Dentistry by Pinkham states: There is no evidence that nailbiting can cause dental change other than minor enamel fractures. Nailbiting can also cause a gap between your two front teeth. If the nailbiting habit begins when the child is very young, it has been reported to cause a gap between teeth. In addition causing gaps between your teeth can cause the roots of your teeth to become weaker. Nailbiting...

while you are cooking you chicken, if the water is boiling, then you can start
boiling you noodles. When your chicken is done all the way through then we
make the sauce. Right there in the same pan that you cooked you chicken in,
add your two cans of Cream of Mushroom soup and your two cans of Cream of
Chicken soup. After dumping the soup into the pan, you will then need to guess
on the amount of milk that you put into the sauce. The more milk that is added
the thinner the sauce will be, and the less milk that is added will give you a nicer
creamier sauce. It depends on how thick or thin you like your sauces. Make sure
to keep stirring the noodles through out their cooking process, or they will all
be stuck together. While finishing cooking the noodles turn the heat down on
the sauce so that all it is going to do is warm up. You don’t want the sauce to
boil or else it will take longer to thicken up even if the amount of milk was
small. It only takes about 3-5 minutes for the sauce to warm all the way
through. Once the noodles are done then you can strain the water off of them.
Add about 1 tablespoon of butter to the drained noodles and stir them really
good to get that butter mixed in, this will keep the noodles from sticking
together until they can be served. Finally, all you need to do now is dish up your
plate of chicken primavera and enjoy. This recipe...

... sadness, and the inability to interact with babies. Guilt is the runner up for common emotional affect. Guilt is a feeling of remorse. Guiltiness comes when someone is not confident with the abortion and when someone is unable to rationalize the need for the abortion. Having an abortion can have physical affects. Trying to have a baby later on down the line is a risk after having an abortion. When having an abortion your cervix is dilated this will cause issues later on down the line. But the biggest risk is having a higher risk of getting breast cancer. According to The National Cancer Institute, Women who have abortions increase their risk of breast cancer by fifty percent. Abortion of a first pregnancy interrupts the natural growth process of the breast, leaving millions of cells at a high risk.
Take the time out and think about how your future will be if you don’t go through with an abortion. Consider being a parent for a moment. Giving birth is such a beautiful thing and not every female is given the gift of child bearing. Think about the joy that comes with seeing your baby for the first time. Think about the mother intuition that is developed while the baby is still in the womb, and think about how your baby will believe the world is in your hands and you are their hero. It is a scary, but an exciting feeling all at the same. Love consumes your heart, but having an abortion doesn’t give you the opportunity to experience this love and excitement. Of...
